Dropped our food off at the Calders and had our goodbyes. Freezing cold today 9F. Car was so full we had to take our garbage down the road on the hood of the car. 2:00 - Duty Free Erie - got 3 bottles of rum and one Carolan - 57.00! WOOT. These are 1ltr and not those skimpy 750ml.

Well here we are in Parry Sound. We decided to head east from Sault Ste. Marie fairly quickly and meet up with Bev's cousin in London, Ontario, and then go to Niagara Falls. We continued along the highway and there were countless waterfalls and small lakes. We saw several groups of Sandhill Cranes but most were too far away for a good picture. We did take a couple of good pictures of small waterfalls during lunch at the ...
